Are you looking for products that bring calm and a sense of security through deep pressure? In this category you will find the complete range for deep pressure and weighting: blankets, cuddly toys and rollers.
Deep pressure is gentle, even pressure on the body that has a calming effect and gives a sense of safety, much like a firm hug. Weighted products and pressure aids use this principle to bring calm and help you relax. Deep pressure is widely used to support sensory processing, for example with ADHD or autism, and helps both children and adults to settle down or sleep better. In this overarching category you will find the whole range: weighted blankets such as the Weighted Blanket, weighted cuddly toys such as the Manimo Weighted Dolphin and the Cuddle Ball, and pressure aids such as the Deep Pressure Roller, the Dozie ZenDragon and the Hammock Swing.
